If you have correctly interfaced AIS WI-FI GATEWAY to your AIS system, 

then the Yellow “Data” LED should flash each time 

an AIS message is 

received, the frequency of which will vary depending upon the number of 
vessels around you transmitting their position. 
 

Installation Step 5 

 Wireless Interfacing 

 

 

AIS WI-FI GATEWAY has an integrated 802.11b+g wireless adaptor 
which creates a wireless hotspot on-board your boat. The SSID 
(name) of the wireless hotspot that AIS WI-FI GATEWAY creates will 

be “

DY-AIS_WiFi-

xxxx” where xxxx is a four d

igit code unique to 

your AIS WI-FI GATEWAY. 

 

To connect to AIS WI-FI GATEWAY, simply scan for wireless 
hotspots on your wireless device. The exact procedure will vary 
from device to device so consult the user manual for your device to 
understand how to connect to a wireless hotspot. 

 

Once your mobile device is connected wirelessly to AIS WI-FI 
GATEWAY, all you have to do is run the Navigation App that you 
want to use to display AIS data on your mobile device.
